ADJUSTABLE MIRROR-SUPPORT.

SPECIFICATION fonning part of Letters Patent No. 787.260, dated April 11, 1905.

Application filed September 22, 1904- Serial No. 225,514.

of \Yisconsin, have invented new and useful lmprovements in Adjustable Mirror-Supports. ot which the tollowlng is a specification.

.\ly invention relates to adjustable mirrorsupports for dressers and the like: and the objects of my invention are to simplil'y the construction and minimize the expense ol adjustable mirror-supports and to render durable and simple the operation thereof.

in the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a l'rout view, and Fig. 2 is a rear view,ot my invention. Fig. I; represents a side view ol the upright s1ipporting-standard. Fig.4 represents a perspective view ol" the adjusting- 1 1g. is a side view in detail ol' the i packing purposes or tor conveyance by snnjoint. tightener.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 indicates the lower portion of an ordinary dresser.

2 represents the mirror, and 3 represents the upright supporting-standard, preferably a round rod of sutticient size and strength, hinged to a lower square portion 4. The square portion t is rigidly attached to the back ol' the dresser by surrounding plates or sockets 5 5 and is provided with upwardlyexteuding aws (3 t) at the top, which receive an enlargement of the rod 3. The bolt 7 passes through eyes in the jaws and through an eye in the enlarged end ol' the rod 13 and is secured by a nut s at the opposite side. The jaws (S t) are prel'erably coneaved at t) t) to receive a corresponding convex portion ol the bolt-head T and the binding-nut S in order to atl'ord more l'riction to uphold the rod 3 in any desired position. The enlarged end of the rod 3 is constructed with a double-bevel head it), which is adapted to contine the tilting ol the supporting-rod 13. Each incline ol' the head It) is adapted to engage the tloor t1 and act as a stop to limit the action of the rod 2%. The supporting-ital 3 is permitted to tilt l'orward and back to carry the mirror to anv desired angle. The l'riction at the joint is obtained by tightening the nut 8 suiticientlv to hold the inirror as desired.

The mirror is also adapted to revolve laterally upon the rod 3. The clips 12 and 13, attached to the back ol" the mirror-frame, surround the rod 3 loosely, and a shoulder it is provided, upon which the clip 13 rests, l'orming with the shoulder a turn-table upon which the mirror-frame revolves. The clip 11% is arranged so as to surround the reduced portion to ol' the rod 2 and may be tightened to a proper degree by the screws 15 15 to attord proper friction to retain the mirror in any position desired.

It will be observed that by means of my invention the mirror may be revolved to any desired position and tilted l'orward-or back to anv desired angle.

The mirror may be aisily removed for ply lifting the mirror-frame from the standard 3.

My invention atlords a simple, neat, and tasty support easily adjustable and c0nven iently operated.

Having thus l'ull y described my invention, what l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is---- 1. in combination with a support, a sectional member removably mounted upon said support comprising a squared base provided with integral, parallel jaws, said jaws having concaved sides and a. lloor l'ormed therebteween, an upper section provided with a lower beveled portion pivoted between said jaws, a mirror or the like movably mounted upon said upper section, and means for retaining said mirror in a lixed position upon said upper sect ion.

, 2. In a device ol the character described, the combination with a support, 01" a sectional standard adapted to be removably secured to the support, said standard comprising a lower, squared section provided with integral, parallel aws and having a floor at the base ol" the jaws, an upper section reduced in thickness at its upper end and having an integral, enlarged, lower portion, said l In testimony whereof I have hereunto set lower portion being oppositely beveled at its my hand in the presence of two subscribing lower end and pivoted between said jaws, a Witnesses.

mirror, and means secured to the mirror for JOHN BANDEROB. engaging the upper section of the standard, l/Vitnesses: said means being adapted to hold the mirror LEO A. BANDEROB,
